Abstract: Cold expansion (CX) is a material processing technique that has been widely used in the aircraft industry to enhance fatigue life of structural components containing holes. CX introduces compressive hoop residual stresses ...

Abstract: This paper describes a sequence of residual stress measurements made to determine a twodimensional map of biaxial residual stress in a nozzle mockup having two welds, one a dissimilar metal (DM) weld and the other a stainless ...

Abstract: This study investigated the effect of collagen fiber tortuosity distribution on the biomechanical failure and prefailure properties of arterial wall tissue. An in-silico model of the arterial wall was developed using data ...

Abstract: This paper describes a sequence of residual stress measurements made to determine a twodimensional map of biaxial residual stress in a stainless steel weld. A long stainless steel (316L) plate with an eightpass groove weld ...

Abstract: Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior is a matter of concern for structural materials, namely, stainless steels and nickel alloys, in nuclear power plants. High levels of cold work (CW) have shown to both reduce crack ...

Abstract: Recent experimental work has shown residual stress measurements in welded material to be difficult. To better assess the precision of residual stress measurement techniques, a measurement article was designed to allow ...
